All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S DEFIANT MATE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

We changed our outfits and the hunting started. Whoever catches more animals gets to be the winner according to our bets, and we launched into the woods. There were guns, arrows, and other weapons available for any option we’d like to choose if we didn’t want to shift for the hunt.“Let’s meet here in the next one hour. If you come late, you automatically lose.” My words came out like an order, not a suggestion.Aria just nodded without blinking, her lips slightly curved in that mischievous way she does when she's determined. I knew she wouldn’t back down, not after the confidence she displayed earlier. Niamh stood back, watching silently, her arms folded as if she expected something bigger to unfold.We split paths, disappearing into the trees without another word.I shifted halfway, letting my senses sharpen. The familiar rush of the hunt raked through my body as I remembered the thrill, chase, and the smell of fresh blood. The only thing different is that, this time, it was about h

The morning glow seeped through the curtain and entered my closed eyes as the sun stood proudly in the sky. I had slept by his side through the night so that I didn’t know when daylight came.My eyes flickered open as I released a loud yawn from the tiredness, only for me to see him staring at me sweetly with his hand supporting his face at my face’s angle. His eyes were filled with fascination, as if that was the first time he would see me properly.I jerked up immediately to avoid the uncomfortable stare but lost my balance and crashed back into him without being able to save myself at all.“You should have just asked for a hug instead of getting it in this dramatic way.” His comment almost got me furious as he held me in his arms but strangely, I found myself smiling briefly at his comment. It didn’t feel bad like it would have before the hunt, and I wondered why. The smile disappeared quickly, and I rushed to stand up, but he wouldn’t let me.In a flash, he turned me over and was

|Sherlock|The day’s meeting had been exhausting, as usual, so I needed to catch some breath. Also, the pack had been awfully quiet for a while; there was no case to judge or solve, and everyone had maintained their peace to avoid getting dragged into my court.“I am so bored. I hate this routine,” I mumbled as I walked with Rachel to the huge balcony.She followed in silence as I stepped on the grand structure with blackened wood and adorned with twisted ironwork. The railings were laced with spikes to avoid unnecessary leaning from the maids and there were candles on all edges.I love the view of the surrounding land that is visible from the balcony, so I go there anytime I feel frustrated because it reminds me of how much I own and I am worth. The power and control it speaks to me is more satisfying than the bosom of any mate or concubine that graces my bed.“Are there no words from other Alphas? Do we have to wait all month?”Rachel rushed to my side, closing the gap as my voice r

The cold air whipped through the jagged mountain path as the fifty carts rattled their way across the narrow trail. The men were busy discussing their plans after the trips, with subtle laughter accompanying the creaking of the wooden wheels that blended with the occasional clatter of grain sacks brushing against each other. The sun had gone down to a bearable extent, marking the setting of the sun as the gentle breeze blew over the mountain.Rachel’s men crouched behind the huge trees, waiting for the perfect moment to strike with their eyes sharply fixed on the men, their blades sheathed and their bows drawn. Slowly, they approached the marked area, and the first cart dipped into the bend, giving the sign, and one of the soldiers gave two swift bird call signals.Immediately, the arrows flew into the air, and the men who were less prepared barely had time to scream. The shots hit the targeted areas, and the men slumped over as they pierced through the necks and heads, making them fa

|Selene|How dare that brat counter my advice? She has been flaunting herself as the mate for days ever since she confronted me in her room. I couldn’t believe my ears when she threatened to show me her potential, and she’s really showing it by having a tight hold on my son.I stared in the mirror in front of me with my fists tightly clenched in anger, but nothing. I couldn’t take the disrespect any longer. It just has to stop before I lose my mind. The way the Beta also spoke to me earlier means he has decided to support Damien.“I will not lose you to anyone!” I gritted hard, suppressing the urge to scream loud.The door opened for Naomi, who had just arrived from a mission I sent her on, and she rushed to my side to ask if I was fine.“Is it still not coming forth? How many days has it been?” she sighed, staring at my angry face.“I need you to bring the chief priestess to this house right now! Tell her to drop every other thing and find her way here!” My voice was over the roof.
